Rhonda's Ramblings

Yesterday couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a sunny day or a day full of huge downpours. Because of its uncertainty, I thought it would be a great day to see a rainbow.

When I was in elementary school, we memorized the conditions for a rainbow, and I still go over them in my head for some reason.

1. The rain must be falling in front of you.
2. The sun must be shining behind you.
3. It must be morning or afternoon.

Despite the fact that all of these conditions were in place at different times, I still could not find that elusive rainbow.

Until…..I was driving home from grocery shopping and alas….not just one rainbow, but a double rainbow!!

(I don’t think the second rainbow showed up in the pictures.)

So bright! So abundant! So summer!

At first glance, the wild turkeys may impress you. And I will admit, they are quite impressive animals. Gorgeous, really.

We call these turkeys “wild”, but we use the term loosely. A couple of years ago, there were some wild turkeys who made friends with our domestic turkeys. I really think they were just using them for the free food, but whatever the case, they became pals. Well, our domestic turkeys ended up running off with the wild turkeys. Such bad influences.

We have never seen our domestic turkeys again. But this past year, a wild turkey momma showed up with her four little babies. I guess she wanted to give them the same type of childhood that she had.

We love them and are protective of them. We don’t want them to end up on someone’s table for Thanksgiving dinner.

But at the same time, they drive us crazy. They are not as impressive when they are scratching and climbing around on your roof at 6:30 am.

(See the little turkey head sticking up?)

And they are not impressive when they poop all along your front walk.

They are not impressive when they tear apart the bale of straw that is for your chickens.

But they are impressive when they fly high into the trees.

And super impressive when they strut their stuff.

So, I guess we’ll keep them around. We’ll have to raise our own thanksgiving turkey.
